There was a boom, and in the direction of the grass target in the distance, gunpowder smoke filled the air.

The four of them stood for a while, waiting for the smoke to clear up, and then set off to check the condition of the grass target.

Qi Ke has experimented many times in the territory of Lingling, and has already mastered the calculation method between the firing angle of the cannon barrel and the firing distance, and the result of her cannon demonstration is naturally to hit the target, and the grass target was blown apart, and the ground was full of scorched and broken grass clippings.

"It's really going to blow up that far." Chengfeng's eyes lit up.

"A little farther away, okay?" Bai Qing asked.

"Okay." Qi Ke nodded, "I'll prepare." ”

Qi Ke and Zhaolin went to move a new grass target, Bai Qing and Cheng Feng returned to the valley mouth, discussing what situation this cannon barrel is suitable for while walking, and finally felt that it was very suitable for dealing with the situation of Haikou coming ashore to invade the village, the firing speed is fast, the distance is long, and the handling is flexible, and the beach outside the village is unobstructed, and the terrain and vision are the most suitable for artillery attacks.

Cheng Feng immediately said that this was Qi Ke's contribution, and that the more durable cannon barrels in the army must be given priority to Erma Town and the villages below.

Bai Qing said that there was no problem, and even he had a better idea.

The two waited for a long time at the mouth of the valley, and Qi Ke and Zhaolin, who had been properly arranged, came back, dug up the soil of the half-buried cannon barrel, adjusted the angle of the cannon muzzle and buried it again, put in the explosive bag to check the lead, ignite, and fire.

After another deafening explosion and shaking of the ground, the four went to inspect the scene and, not surprisingly, saw a satisfactory result.

The second time the target was shattered, and the impact of the explosion blew away the grass clippings from the previous explosion.

"Well, this explosive pack is not as powerful as ever." Bai Qing reacted a little hindsightly, Qi Ke's explosives package was different from the black powder they were used to in the army.

"The recipe has been adjusted countless times, if it is still the traditional black powder, then what is the need to improve? It's normal to have changes. Qi Ke was straightforward, smiling beside her, with the kind of expression that his master was very powerful and proud.

"The power of gunpowder has changed, so the barrels made by blacksmiths in the traditional way are no longer suitable, no wonder they break so quickly." Cheng Feng sighed for a while, "You blacksmiths in Siliu Village have been wronged. ”

Cheng Feng is right, the blacksmiths in Siliu Village are really about to be tortured by Qi Ke and go crazy, they are all family heirlooms, generations of blacksmiths in the army, the skills of making cannon barrels have long been familiar with their chests, who knows that what should be strong and durable will deteriorate very quickly in Qi Ke's hands.

In Qi Ke's eyes, the problem with this cannon barrel is, to put it bluntly, that the manufacturing process is backward and cannot withstand the pressure in the chamber of too many gunpowder explosions of new formulations.

Of course, there is a solution, but Qi Ke has already set up the image of a medicine woman with the dual meaning of medicine and gunpowder, and she doesn't want to set up a new image of metal smelting and manufacturing in a short time, so she can only keep her mouth shut and let Bai Jiajun figure it out by himself.

A group of pirates who don't know when they will go ashore to rob, this hidden danger can be big or small, the main thing is that the pirates are armed with firearms to kill and rob, if the border army and the government do not have firearms to compete with, they will be very passive, and they can neither protect the people nor protect their own safety, so Qi Ke is not worried that the Bai family army will not step up to make a new barrel after getting the gunpowder formula of the explosive package.

"What grievances? The power of gunpowder has increased, and the barrel of the cannon is made with traditional craftsmanship, and there is a grievance? Bai Qing looked at the mess all over the place, and liked the explosives bag of the new formula very much in his heart, "Since they can't keep up, the subsequent rewards will not have their share, and the credit for the cannon barrel is destined to be unrelated to them." ”
